Bundle Up * Power Down tips

Layer up -- before heating a space, warm yourself. Layer up with thick socks, a sweater, fingerless gloves, shawl…

Fill up -a warm drink can do wonders!

Shake it up – move around a bit! Take a walk, dance it out to a favourite tune, air guitar… anything that gets you moving!

Change it up -- what you think about can affect how warm you feel!  Nostalgia/good memories can help you feel warmer! Check out this blog post.

Snuggle up -- increasing skin contact means less area for heat loss. Be sure to use this suggestion judiciously and respectfully!
